"A new edition of Bananas, Beaches and Bases is cause for cosmic good cheer. This trailblazing treatment of the gender politics of global market and military projects is a feminist classic. Always ahead of the curve, before globalization had achieved cache in academic circles, Enloe was there, cajoling Western feminists out of our politicial parochialism. There is no more creative, insightful, engaging feminist guide to international politics." Judith Stacy, author of Brave New Families - from cover
